Consider a metallic cube of edge length $L$. Its resistance, $R$, measured across its opposite faces is $R =\frac{ m _{ e } v }{ ne ^2 L ^2}$, where $n$ is the number density and $v$ is the drift speed of electrons in the cube, and $e$ and $m _{ e }$ are the charge and mass of an electron respectively. Assuming the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron to be $L$, the maximum resistance of the sample is closest to ............. $\,\Omega$ $\left(e=1.60 \times 10^{-19} \,C ; m _{ e }=9.11 \times 10^{-31} \,kg\right.$; Planck's constant, $h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \,Js$ )

$L =\frac{ h }{ mv }$
$R =\frac{ m _{ e } v }{ ne ^2 L ^2}$
$\therefore R =\frac{ h }{ L ^3 n e ^2}$
$R$ maximum when $n$ is minimum that is at least

$R =\frac{ h }{ L ^3 \frac{1}{ L ^3} e ^2}$
$=\frac{10^{-34}}{10^{-38}}=10^4 \,\Omega$

Incandescent bulbs are designed by keeping in mind that the resistance of their filament increases with the increase in temperature. If at room temperature, $100 \mathrm{~W}, 60 \mathrm{~W}$ and $40 \mathrm{~W}$ bulbs have filament resistances $\mathrm{R}_{100}, \mathrm{R}_{60}$ and $\mathrm{R}_{40}$, respectively, the relation between these resistances is
A potential divider is used to give outputs of $4\,V$ and $8\,V$ from a $12\,V$ source. Which combination of resistances, $(R_1 : R_2 : R_3)$ gives the correct voltages
A wire of length $100\, cm$ is connected to a cell of emf $2\,V$ and negligible internal resistance. The resistance of the wire is $3\,\Omega $. The additional resistance required to produce a potential difference of $1\, mV/cm$ is ............. $\Omega$
A null point is found at $200\,cm$ in potentiometer when cell in secondary circuit is shunted by $5\,\Omega$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used for shunting null point moves to $300\,cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is $..............\,\Omega$.
Two electric bulbs marked $40\,W,$ $220\,V$ and $60\,W,\,\,220\,V$ when connected in series across same voltage supply of $220\,V,$ the effective power is $P_1$ and when connected in parallel, the effective power is $P_2.$ Then $\frac {P_1}{P_2}$ is
